They have participated in a lot of lawsuits. Currently they are suing Eric Holder: http://www.ccrkba.org/?p=4331 They are separate from the SAF but their headquarters are in the same complex. Or at least they were several years ago.

Quit talkin' and start chalking!

SAF and CCRKBA are two similar orgs both run by Alan Gottlieb. AFAIK, SAF is a 501(c)3 foundation and CCRKBA is a 501(c)4 that does lobbying. Federal law means they are more effective as separate orgs, like NRA and NRA ILA.

Gottlieb has run a number of similar political groups over many years for various conservative causes and built a pretty expansive direct marketing empire in Bellevue. Here is a very biased article from two decades ago that gives some background that most people are unaware of.
